<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3472415, member: 76086"]Its easy to condemn, but harder to verify. We should always give some leeway or benefit of doubt to dealers. First the condemnation comes in. Then the dealer has to do some research. If a situation is obvious they can easily withdraw a lot but when it is not obvious and when others disagree on a condemnation they have to make a decision to withdraw or not. All of this of course is depending on time frame, how long do they have until the lot closes, contact the owner, obtaining written (or otherwise opinions)...it gets complicated and sometimes lots are hammered down before one can get a consensus. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm making general comments here, not about the OP or any of the other coins posted. I'm just making comments based as a dealer of many years. It's not easy being a dealer, and honestly as a 'bottom feeder' I can only speculate as to how much the large dealers have to deal with in this regard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
